Malaysian ex-mufti: Hitler “might have been right” in exterminating Jews

Jul 17, 2014 6:40 pm By Robert Spencer

Dr_Mohd_Asri_Zainul_Abidin10_840_560_100This kind of talk is becoming increasingly open and common. “Palestinian” victimhood propaganda has made Jew-hatred newly respectable, and the rise of Islam in the West has directed new opprobium toward those whom the Qur’an designates as the worst enemies of the Muslims (5:82).

“Hitler might have been right, says ex-mufti,” Malaysia Today, July 15, 2014 (thanks to Tom):

(Malay Mail Online) – Popular religious scholar Datuk Dr Mohd Asri Zainul Abidin has waded into the Adolf Hitler controversy today, writing in an opinion piece that the Nazi dictator “might have been right” in exterminating the Jews.

Despite admitting that not all Jews are bad, the former Perlis mufti insisted that Jews in general have a bad record, as proven by their many trickeries and betrayals, including against Prophet Muhammad.

“We are not anti-certain races, or blindly anti-Semitic like Hitler or previous Europeans. But if we see the betrayals and wicked acts of the Israeli Jews, those are not a new or odd thing for them.

“There might be truth behind Hitler’s belief,” said Mohd Asri in his article on news portal Astro Awani.

Mohd Asri claimed that Hitler’s rhetoric against the Jews and move to exterminate the community were widely-supported at that time by the German public.

He also claimed that Hitler was not first to believe that the Jews were “destructive”, listing down German Protestant leader Martin Luther, the Spanish, the Portuguese, and the Catholic church as others who mistreated the Jews.

“Why did the Europeans unite in believing that the Jews were an evil race? The answer, is whether the belief was superstitious, or it was based on their experiences with the Jews,” suggested Mohd Asri.

“If the answer is the first, then the Jews were truly a persecuted race.

“[But] if the answer is the Jews had historically destroyed human lives until the Europeans feared them, then the cruel and brutal acts of Hitler had indirectly reduced the harm that the Jews pose to Europeans and the rest of the world, even if they were cruel and unacceptable.”

He claimed that the Christian Churches have long had their suspicion of Jews, which however ended with the establishment of anti-Semitic laws which granted the Jews “invincibility”.

Mohd Asri also listed down the times that Jews had betrayed the Prophet Muhammad, which finally led to them being exiled after plotting to overthrow Muhammad’s rule.

However, the scholar insisted that Islam does not declare wholesale that all Jews are evil, saying that one of Muhammad’s wives was a Jew, while one of his companions, Abd Allah Salam, was also a Jew who converted into Islam.

“Generally, the Jews have a bad record. But this does not deny the possibility that there are good people among the Jews. But the record of the Jews generally, is of course bad,” said Mohd Asri….

      The record of Islam can be found by Muslims whenever they dumpster-dive into Satan’s garbage can:

      AKA — ‘The Qur’an’.

      Malaysia [islam lite?]has ‘form’. At least one former PM has blatantly broadcast his venal antisemitism. If Malaysians don’t like that, they have only themselves to blame for not hounding that petty hateful supremacist:

      “In 2003 Mahathir [mohamed] spoke to the Non-Aligned Movement in Kuala Lumpur, and as part of his speech, said:
      If innocent people who died in the attack on Afghanistan and those who have been dying from lack of food and medical care in Iraq are considered collaterals, are the 3,000 who died in New York, and the 200 in Bali also just collaterals whose deaths are necessary for operations to succeed?”

      What ‘operations’, the subjugation of the civilized world by mohammedan savages?

      “Under Mahathir, Malaysia was a staunch supporter of the Palestinian cause, and established diplomatic relations with the Palestine Liberation Organization. (Israeli citizens remain banned from entering Malaysia and Malaysian citizens from Israel without special government permission.) In 1986, a major diplomatic row erupted with neighbouring Singapore when Chaim Herzog, the President of Israel, paid a state visit.
      Mahathir’s public remarks about Jews date back as early as 1970 when he wrote in his controversial book The Malay Dilemma: “The Jews for example are not merely hook-nosed, but understand money instinctively.””

      “In 1997, during the financial crisis, he attributed the collapse of the Malaysian ringgit to a conspiracy of Jews against a prosperous Muslim state: “The Jews robbed the Palestinians of everything, but in Malaysia they could not do so, hence they do this, depress the ringgit.” Under strong international criticism, he issued a partial retraction, but not in Malay-language media sources.”

      “We [Muslims] are actually very strong, 1.3 billion people cannot be simply wiped out. The Europeans killed 6 million Jews out of 12 million [during the Holocaust]. But today the Jews rule the world by proxy. They get others to fight and die for them. They invented socialism, communism, human rights and democracy so that persecuting them would appear to be wrong so they may enjoy equal rights with others. With these they have now gained control of the most powerful countries. And they, this tiny community, have become a world power.”

      “The Jews had always been a problem in European countries. They had to be confined to ghettos and periodically massacred. But still they remained, they thrived and they held whole Governments to ransom…Even after their massacre by the Nazis of Germany, [Jews] survived to continue to be a source of even greater problems for the world…The Holocaust failed as a final solution.”

      “Creating a state for them was thought to be a better solution. It could be if some European territory had been allocated to make a permanent ghetto for the Jews. But of course if this was done then the affected European state would rise in arms and kill all the Jews the way they had been doing before. So the debate was about creating an Israeli state in Uganda, Africa, or somewhere in Latin America or Palestine of course.”

      “Following the Israeli court’s decision declaring the state blameless in the death of American activist Rachel Corrie, Dr Mahathir wrote in his blog in September 2012:
      I am glad to be labeled antisemitic […] How can I be otherwise, when the Jews who so often talk of the horrors they suffered during the Holocaust show the same Nazi cruelty and hard-heartedness towards not just their enemies but even towards their allies should any try to stop the senseless killing of their Palestinian enemies.”

      “Mahathir established the Kuala Lumpur War Crimes Commission to focus on victims of abuse in Iraq, Lebanon and the Palestinian territories.
      On 11 May 2012, Bush, Dick Cheney, Donald Rumsfeld and their legal advisers Alberto Gonzales, David Addington, William Haynes, Jay Bybee and John Yoo were found guilty of war crimes. “After the guilty verdict reached by five senior judges was delivered, Mahathir Mohamad said: ‘Powerful countries are getting away with murder.'””

      “The Protocols have been in circulation in Malaysia since 1983. Mahathir Mohamad [personally] distributed copies of The Protocols during his years in office as prime minister of the country. In 2006, Masterpiece Publications issued a version of the Protocols under the title World Conquest Through World Jewish Government (ISBN 983-3710-28-X). Copies of the book are held at the Institute of Islamic Understanding Malaysia.”

        Not only did the ex-Prime Minister Mahatir Mohamed deliver that keynote speech brimming with paranoid and hateful Judaeophobia; he delivered it in the context of the annual collocation of the OIC (the Organization of the Islamic Cooperation — the modern incarnation of the Dar-al-Islam which Angemon and Philip Jihadski thinks doesn’t exist), and when he finished his speech (i.e., his rant), he received a standing ovation from all the Islamic leaders of the world — including both political and clerical (a distinction Muslims continue to have to suffer until they can revive their religion-and-state-fused Caliphate).

          Oh, wow, you’re really butthurt at the ass-kicking you from me and PJ regarding your “total deportation” theory, aren’t you? That’s the only explanation i can find for your continuous strawmen regarding what me and PJ said regarding it. Tell me, are you going to make a point of lying about us in every topic?

          How about you stick to facts as they actually happened? You claimed that the only solution for the muslim issue was total deportation, including native converts to islam. So i asked you where would you deport native converts to. You replied “dar-al-islam” and i pointed that dar-al-islam is a concept meaning any place where muslims are free to practice their religion and not a state or nation, which is not the same as saying there’s no such thing as dar-al-islam like you claim we did – that’s the strawman. I asked to which exact country would you deport the native converts and you gave some BS answer regarding muhammad, the 7th century and Alexander the Great. You never mentioned the OIC but even if you did, the OIC is an organization of countries, akin to the Commonwealth of Nations or the Mercosur, so it would still be an inapt answer to what you were asked. But since you’re claiming that OIC = dar-al-islam, do answer these questions:

          1 – When was OIC/dar-al-islam founded?
          2 – By whom was OIC/dar-al-islam founded?
          3 – What’s OIC/dar-al-islam’s official language(s)?
          4 – What’s the currency used in OIC/dar-al-islam?
          5 – What’s the exchange rate between the aforementioned currency and $US or €EUR?
          6 – What’s the capital of OIC/dar-al-islam?
          7 – Who is the current leader of OIC/dar-al-islam?
          8 – What are OIC/dar-al-islam’s borders?
          9 – Can you name some of OIC/dar-al-islam’s biggest cities?
          10 – Can you ensure us that OIC/dar-al-islam would accept every single muslim kicked out of any country under your “total deportation” act?

      Every year, there a “day without art”, in which people contemplate how much the art world has lost due to the many artists (especially yong gay men) who have died due to HIV/Aids.

      The same could be said for the millions of Jews who were murdered by the Nazis, not just in arts but in many other fields. If those Jews were alive today, Europe would be much more prosperous and creative. Also, the Jews wouldn’t have been forced to move to the Middle East, so there wouldn’t be the Israeli-Palestinian conflict right now.

      • jewdog says

        Jul 17, 2014 at 8:31 pm

        Your statement about the founding of Israel implies that the Muslims were victims, thereby illustrating my point. All pro-Islamic arguments posit Muslims as victims in order to rationalize their aggression. If you look at the Christian minority in the Muslim world, their persecution cannot be explained as Muslims reacting to victimization because those Christians are all powerless. Get it?

        • bernie says

          Jul 19, 2014 at 8:55 pm

          I’m not saying that the Muslims were victims, on the whole. I realize that most of them will never even tolerate the existence of a Jewish state, as recent polls suggest. However, the large, sudden displacement of Jews to the Middle East (because of the Nazis) did contribute to destabilizing the region.

        “…the Jews wouldn’t have been forced to move to the Middle East, so there wouldn’t be the Israeli-Palestinian conflict right now.”

        And the Jews who had never *left* the “Middle East”? The Jews in a swath of country stretching from Morocco in the West to Afghanistan in the east and all parts in between – **including the Jews hanging on by teeth and toenails in their own traditional historic homeland, eretz Israel** which was NEVER purely Judenrein even in the darkest and most dismal days of the Muslim Imperium? These Jews who were living as near-slave dhimmis within the Muslim world, persecuted and periodically assaulted by Muslim pogroms? What of them?

        You would be happy for those Jews – whose communities in places like Persia, Yemen, Egypt, North Africa pre-dated by up to *two thousand years* the arrival of Arab Muslims as invaders and occupiers – to have continued to eke out a wretched existence under the spiked boot of the Mohammedan Mob – humiliated, degraded, exploited, in perpetual physical peril? That’s OK with you?

        The *only* way for *any* non-Muslim minority within the so-called “Muslim world” to be sure of leading a decent life as free human beings, is for them to *leave* altogether and flee to a Muslim-free territory somewhere else, thus surrendering total control of yet another chunk of the world,to the Mohammedan Mob (which will pocket the gains, and then proceed to *follow* the fugitives, with a view to gaining *more* territory; the Muslims did not stop their Jihad westward after they had taken Constantinople in 1453, they were hammering on the gates of *Vienna* by 1683) or for them to declare and maintain *their own sovereign states* within militarily defensible and economically viable enclaves, and then FIGHT henceforward, into the foreseeable future. Recognising, grimly, that their fight is no different from that of every other non-Muslim state everywhere on earth, for the Mohammedan Mob believes itself entitled to rule **every inch of planet earth**, that the Mob particularly hates *losing* ANY bit of ‘turf’ that it has ever invaded and occupied, and that therefore so long as the Mohammedan Mob exists, *every* non-Muslim sovereign state must be prepared to defend itself, to the hilt, against the Jihad that will assail it sooner or later.

        Muslim Jew-hatred is and was not *caused* by the resurgence of the Jewish state of Israel; though of *course* the Muslims absolutely HATE Israel like poison.

        Muslim Jew-hatred – murderous in its intensity – existed for 1300 years prior to the rise of modern Israel, for it is hardwired into the Quran, the Sira and the Hadith …which were concocted at a time when no sovereign Jewish state existed; when Jews were minority communities across the so-called “Middle East” as well as in Europe and further afield.

        Ever read Andrew Bostom’s “The Legacy of Islamic Antisemitism”? Just read Part One, and get a clue. Or you could read Martin Gilbert’s “In Ishmael’s House” or you could just look up the letter that – in 1200 AD – Maimonides wrote to the Jews of Yemen who were undergoing a particularly savage onslaught of Mohammedan persecution…and see that it could be a description of the situation today, in terms of the hatred and aggression directed by Muslims toward Jews in Israel and elsewhere.

        In the late 15th century a Muslim Sufi rabble-rouser in the Maghreb, one Al-Maghili, declared “Love of the Prophet requires hatred of the Jews”. And as a result of his ‘preaching’, thousands of utterly-defenceless dhimmi Jews were assailed by allahu-akbaring Muslim mobs, and murdered. And that was by no means an isolated incident in the dar al Islam, in the centuries before Israel was re-founded.

    “Mohd Asri claimed that Hitler’s rhetoric against the Jews and move to exterminate the community were widely-supported at that time by the German public.

    He also claimed that Hitler was not first to believe that the Jews were “destructive”, listing down German Protestant leader Martin Luther, the Spanish, the Portuguese, and the Catholic church as others who mistreated the Jews.

    “Why did the Europeans unite in believing that the Jews were an evil race? The answer, is whether the belief was superstitious, or it was based on their experiences with the Jews,” suggested Mohd Asri.

    “If the answer is the first, then the Jews were truly a persecuted race.”

    Luther went from jew defender to anti-semite on the course of his life. Jews were expelled from Spain because of several false charges – they were accused of trying to convert christians away from christianity, dealing with muslims to set up a turk invasion and buying and selling christian slaves. They were expelled from Portugal because the king Manuel I wanted to marry a spanish princess to safeguard his country from a potential attack from a newly-formed Spain and one of the conditions to the marriage was that he expelled all the jews from Portugal (which for the most part he didn’t, he recognized their strategical value and opted by coercing them to convert to christianity, even if they ended up being only nominal christians and kept practicing their faith in secret).

    Now, Luther’s anti-semite views nowadays are repudiated even by lutherans. Spaniards and Portuguese gave the right of return to the descendants of jews expelled because they acknowledged they were the victims of religious intolerance. By all accounts and records, it’s option one – the jews were an (unfairly) persecuted race.

    Just for the sake of it, let’s apply Datuk’s daft logic on muslims. We need to ask a similar question: “Why did the Europeans unite in believing that the muslims and islam were evil? Was that belief superstitious or it was based on their experiences with the muslims?”

    Luther wasn’t very fond of “turks” (although he hated jews more). For Spain and Portugal, who were invaded by muslims in the 8th century, religion was a key concept in the reconquista, and they went on to keep fighting against muslims even after liberating their countries, Spain mostly in the Mediterranean and Portugal mostly in the Indian Ocean. The Catholic church wasn’t particularly fond of muslims either, having called the crusades and financing troops to fight against muslims in Europe. Must have had something to do with them sacking Rome and conquering several parts of Italy for centuries (including Sicily – the word mafioso may derive from the slang Arabic mahyas , meaning “aggressive boasting, bragging”).

    All i have to say is: resorting to an appeal to numbers? Bad call Datuk, bad call.

    Islam = Evil. This is another excellent JW article in the top of the online website queue that proves it.

    Many excellent older (first decade of the 21st century) compilations of historical and ideological information highlight the clear and present danger of Islam, with credible references, but are pages buried way down in online search engines by the recent proliferation of pro-Islam propaganda.

    Links below put comprehensive rebuttals to the lies of Islam in one place for your convenient reference as a truth-teller about the Islamic evil that seeks to corrode the U.S. and the rest of the West by Muslim lies from within. I plan to repeatedly post links to the earlier 21st century compilations because powerfully anti-Islam info in comments on JW — necessarily by the format (and press of daily news of Islamic atrocities) of the top stories — tend to get lost in the day-to-day shuffle of new articles coming in at the top of the JW chronology.

    We need not bow down to the Taqiyya Trojan Horse! We are not Dhimmis! We have free speech in the U.S. and also freedom of (and from) religion. Islam allows none of our cherished freedoms whenever and wherever Muslims control a country. Islam is a great and deceptive evil that we cannot allow to replace our hard-won American freedom. We are called to a free-speech war of words in order to survive as a free non-Muslim people.

The word comes from a root meaning “to guard against, to keep (oneself)”. Thus, it also includes dissimulation by the Muslim to give the appearance of not being religious, so as not to arouse suspicion. In this vein, a Muslim, if necessary, may eat pork, drink alcohol, and even verbally deny the Islamic faith, as long as he does not “mean it in his heart”. If the end result of the lie is perceived by the Muslim to be good for Islam or useful to bringing someone to “submission” to Allah, then the lie can be sanctioned through taqiyya.” ]

      In doing so, Malaysia managed to get rid of a large non-Malay population that they didn’t want.

    It is even worse in Indonesia

    Jakarta. International coverage of Indonesia’s presidential election campaign took a worrying turn on Wednesday after the German weekly Der Spiegel published a story on the disgraceful decision by candidate Prabowo Subianto to support a chilling Nazi-themed music video as part of his campaign.

    The video is fronted by Indonesian Idol judge and rock star Ahmad Dhani dressed in a black jacket worn by the SS — Nazi Germany’s paramilitary organization that carried out the genocide of some six million Jews as well as the wholesale murder of disabled people, homosexuals and intellectuals.

    The campaign advertisement features Dhani and three Indonesian Idol contestants — Husein, Nowela and Virzha — covering Queen’s “We Will Rock You,” with the lyrics “who will awaken Indonesia from its misery if not us? Prabowo-Hatta!”

    Dhani’s jacket is nearly identical to that worn by Heinrich Himmler, a chief architect of the Holocaust and someone who once said: “Clashes with Asia and Jewry are necessary for evolution.” The three Indonesian Idol contestants are also arranged in black military garb, with Nowela, the lone female, dressed in a black mermaid gown that does little to detract from the overall Nazi look and feel of the video.

    http://www.thejakartaglobe.com/news/prabowo-campaign-disgraced-ahmad-dhanis-shameful-nazi-music-video/

    On Tuesday, May 20, 2014, the the four islamist party,s United Development Party (PPP), the National Mandate Party (PAN), the Prosperous Justice Party (PKS), and the Crescent Star Party (PBB), officially endorsed Prabowo Subianto to run for the 2014 presidential election;

    Foot note

    In 1976, Prabowo served in the Indonesian National Army Special Force Kopassus and was assigned as the commander of Group 1 Komando Pasukan Sandhi Yudha (Kopassandha), which was one of the Indonesian Army’s Nanggala commando units in East Timor, the former Portuguese territory that Indonesia had invaded the previous year. Prabowo, then 26 years old, was the youngest Nanggala commander. Prabowo led the mission to capture the vice president of Fretilin, who was the first Prime Minister of East Timor, On 31 December 1978, Prabowo’s company found and fatally shot Nicolau in the stomach as he was being escorted in Maubisse, fifty kilometres south of Dili.

    In 1985 Prabowo attended the Advanced Infantry Officers Course at Fort Benning, in the United States for commando training. In the early 1990s, as the commander of Kopassus Group 3, the now Major General Prabowo attempted to crush the East Timorese independence movement by using irregular troops (hooded “ninja” gangs dressed in black and operating at night) and, in main towns and villages, militias trained and directed by Kopassus commanders. Human rights abuses rose. The Army’s 1997 campaign was called Operation Eradicate.

    ““Why did the Europeans unite in believing that the Jews were an evil race?”

    Simple, they weren’t stupid enough to invite Muslims in yet. If they had, they’d have known what and evil race was.

    “Why did the Europeans unite in believing that the Jews were an evil race?”

    They need to unite once again or we’re all lost, against Islam this time, I wish I had the secret of this bonding, appeals to naked nationalism just don’t work, not these days, its almost a dirty word. What the answer is to pulling people together to fight this is, I just don’t know.

      To Chrisleo: Jesus Christ is the answer. But because so many either won’t accept Him, or pretend to know Him and don’t (thereby behaving badly, which can turn others away from Him), people of postmodern pluralistic society keep looking for solutions that cannot succeed.

      “Christus Victor” assures the final victory over the evil that is Islam (and every other evil). The only question really is how many will be celebrating with Jesus at the big eternal party afterward.
